Oh man I feel your pain.

Arroyo:
Would obviously be a pain, but if you use the lifted areas and start applying Acetone in-between the laminate and the wood you could probably get the laminate off.

I’ve been using it extensively to clean off areas that have contact cement and it’s pretty incredible how well it works.

Bummer.

yeah, this was rough. I haven't been careful the last few times I've worked on this thing. I'm rushing through everything because time is so limited. My goal was to be finished by Memorial Day but that's arbitrary so I need to take a deep breath and just do things at my own glacial pace.

Although the more I think about it the more I think I like my "mistake" in where I cut the marquee opening so going forward that's what I'm going to do so there's some silver lining.

You know, I didn't even think of trying to remove the laminate and try again. The panel itself is fine underneath. Wish I would have thought of that yesterday. When I said I was taking a break it turns out I meant about 12 hours - I completely remade both panels yesterday but couldn't laminate because I'm out of contact cement. I took my time and it ended up being fun again instead of just another task I was hurrying to finish. I'm stopping at Home Depot at lunch today to pick some up and if they close my office, which I would expect in the next couple of days, I will be off to the races again.

That’s funny you say that. I was just thinking about how this virus crap has led to a slew of time for me to work on my project. I was smiling all weekend.

I drilled through the back of a cabinet I was working on yesterday. It won't be real noticeable but still pissed me off. Had been working on it all day and decided that was my signal to take a break.
